Hmm, while lovely, I think StellaSeraphine S. would be too hissy/breathy. ZoeSeraphina might actually be my fave, but I feel the same hesitance with it, too. Thus, IvyMiranda and IvySeraphina got my first and second votes (respectively). Beautiful choices!

Thanks Ellenelle! I was also worried about the hissy sound of StellaSeraphine but loved the alliteration. I think your right though.. Might be just a tad too many 'S' sounds going on

Thanks for all the feedback so far! I'm still so confused..just can't decide. IvyMiranda seems like it would fit someone more beautiful and sweet where as IvySeraphina & ZoeSeraphine have a little more spunk and would suit a Sassy child IMO. I think I went nuts on alliteration with StellaSeraphine :/ hmmmm So stuck!

I agree on your assessment of the spunkiness vs. beautiful and sweet but that is only when you say both the first and middle names together (which will probably be rare after the initial announcements of her birth).
We, too, have a 2 syllable last name that starts (and ends) with 'S' and Stella made it into our final 4 choices...I stayed away from most names that started with 'S' b/c it was too hissy but we liked the alliteration with Stella - I think it is because of the hard consonant after the 'S' (rather than a vowel sound). Maybe if you find another middle name to go with Stella that might help you decide whether you want to keep it in contention or not?
Good luck!
